Program data 7 days, conflict resolution only 3

[showson1]

Hi all,
A long time ago I increased schedule lookahead to 14 days.
Recently I've noticed some odd things, so I dropped it down to 7 days and everything seems to be working OK as far as getting things scheduled.

The problem I'm having now is that it appears to still only be looking 3 days out for conflicts.

For instance yesterday morning there were no conflicts, now there's a conflict for Thursday and I did not change any of my manual or favorite recordings.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to change how far the conflict resolution component looks ahead.
I found the settings in the property file for the conflict resolution, but don't know what they mean so didn't want to start poking around.

Thanks.

I would be interested as well if anybody has some insights.

Thanks!

I haven't looked at conflict resolution for quite a while, but it use to try and resolve conflicts for all available schedule days. I remember seeing shows appear that were outside by 7 day window. After looking at them, I realized that it was able to find another episode at that time and resolved the conflict with that one.

You need to change a setting in the Sage.properties file, scheduling_lookahead.

The value for scheduling_lookahead is in milliseconds. I have mine set to 604800000, which is 7 days. By default, it is set to 3 days.

Make sure you shut down SageTV (and the SageTV service) when editing the Sage.properties file.

1 day = 86400000 ms
2 days = 172800000 ms
3 days = 259200000 ms
4 days = 345600000 ms
5 days = 432000000 ms
6 days = 518400000 ms
7 days = 604800000 ms
8 days = 691200000 ms
9 days = 777600000 ms
10 days = 864000000 ms
11 days = 950400000 ms
12 days = 1036800000 ms
13 days = 1123200000 ms
14 days = 1209600000 ms


Hope that helps.

Also keep in mind there is a performance impact on bumping this up. And Sage doesn't recommend using anything but the default value.
